The problem is the asset concentration of the top 5% and their resistance to pay a proportionate share of the taxes to service the national debt. All cabinet appointees should be compelled to produce their last 5 years 1040/1120 tax returns before being confirmed.

Government by the people for the people.
I think the government needs to spend it's money more wisely before asking for more.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
